This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Clayton through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 33 with a margin of error of plus or minus 26, which is 78.8 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Is Clayton in the National Flood Insurance Program?
No, it is listed but not participating. Clayton appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Clayton, city of, community 200246, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.

Is zoning published for Clayton?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
